Daegu FC, led by acting coach Seo Dong-won, will play a home game against FC Seoul 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 18th. The game was held in front of '10,000 spectators'. The Daegu club officially announced on the 11th that the Daegu-Seoul match to be held on the 18th was sold out in 15 minutes after the opening of the reservation. As a result, Daegu achieved its fifth sellout this season. The sale was completed in eight minutes in the home opening match against Gangwon FC on February 16, in the match against Daejeon Hana Citizen on the 8th, and in just one minute against FC Anyang on the 15th. It also sold out in the match against Ulsan HD on April 13.
Daegu, Seoul, and both teams are in a bad situation. Daegu once struggled in a seven-game losing streak. Coach Park Chang-hyun put down the baton citing poor performance. Currently, he is playing the season under acting coach Seo. He only had three wins, two draws and eight losses (11 points) in 13 league games. Seoul also ranked ninth with three wins, six draws and four losses (15 points).
There is another reason why the game is drawing more attention on this day. The two teams clashed hotly at Seoul World Cup Stadium on March 29.
There was a scene of controversy. It was in the 45th minute of the second half when Seoul was trailing 1-2. Jung Seung-won (Seoul) scored the equalizer with a great volley. He suddenly turned back and started running to the other side of the ground. Jung Seung-won, who headed toward the away stands, seemed to try to provoke Daegu fans with his right ear. Surprised Seoul players, including veteran Kim Jin-soo, chased and restrained Jung Seung-won. However, as the war of nerves continued, players from both teams flocked to the ground and tangled up.
Jung Seung-won made his professional debut in Daegu in 2016 and played a leading role as a star. However, the relationship with Daegu is not comfortable. Ahead of the 2021 season, there was a conflict over the contract issue and even the salary adjustment of the Korean Professional Football Federation was made. At the end of the year, noise continued due to controversy over the violation of quarantine rules. Jung Seung-won moved to Suwon Samsung in 2022. After that, he went through Suwon FC and built a new nest in Seoul this season. Jung Seung-won was booed by Daegu fans every time he caught the ball.
After the game, Jung Seung-won said of the situation at the time, `There was no other reason. I didn't want to create a bad atmosphere. I wanted to show the fans that I've grown like this. At the end, he said, "I said hello well, and I don't think there were any other problems."
Jung Seung-won's behavior was controversial, but the Korean Professional Football Federation held a match evaluation meeting and said there was no direct ungentlemanly behavior. It was well dried around, and there were no major accidents. It is an ambiguous situation in which he was given disciplinary action just by running (to the opponent). We did not judge the situation until the time of the disturbance, so we decided not to refer it to the reward and punishment committee.
The second clash between Daegu and Seoul opened up with more interest than ever.
